[LCC] "Lucian's Triumphant Cinaedus"

[Jim & Denise]

Dear members,

 

I wrote a paper on "Lucian's Triumphant Cinaedus", which I intended to submit for Lambda's 2009 APA Panel. It examines some neglected texts of Lucian to reveal a more tolerant attitude towards older men's pathic sexuality and to demonstrate how greater attention to conventional Greek expectations regarding pederasty casts new light on the interpretation of a controversial text.

 

I was unable to meet the panel's submission deadline because of a prolonged illness. I then made an individual submission, which the APA program committee rejected. The paper has now been accepted by Helios, where it will be published in due course. Meanwhile, with the kind permission of the editor, I have posted it on my web site, www.jamesjope.ca, where I hope you may enjoy reading it and where you are invited to send me your response. 

 

J. Jope
